This example scenario contains four older HP servers showing high levels of CPU usage, shown
in the following image. Two of these servers are currently exceeding their CPU utilization limits

limit, well beyond the recommended allotment for CPU utilization. Note that power is calibrated
for these systems, and they are running at maximum power usage.
